Study of a Biogas Combustion Chamber Using a Computational Fluid Dynamics Software (ANSYS®)

Abstract

This final degree project is a study of the consequences of using biogas or adding water to a combustion chamber. A sensitivity analysis with the computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS® Fluent has been performed to quantify these effects, focusing on the polluting impacts and more specifically on the NOx formation. First of all, an abstract of the most relevant studies that show up when looking for some of the ideas related to this study will be exposed. Then, some explanations about how does ANSYS® Fluent work will be given, in order to make this study easy to understand. Finally, the results obtained during this project will be showed, accompanied by an interpretation and an analysis of them.
